Despite his lack of education and somewhat obtuse demeanor, the night watchman was relied upon by many for his _______ advice on matters of love and romance.A. insightfulB. jejuneC. pragmaticD. vapidE. expedientF. perspicacious

The trigger word despite tells you that the first part of the sentence contrasts the second part. So, the blank will have a word that means the opposite of the clues lack of education and obtuse, such as keenly smart.

Perspicacious and insightful mean observant or perceptive; these are the best choices. Jejune means immature and vapid means dull, but neither is the opposite of obtuse. Pragmatic means practical and expedient means appropriate; both words could describe good advice, but don’t follow from the clue in this sentence.

Hence options A and F are correct!_________________
